Description

Up for sale is www.usedcarsavings.com -

An excellent web site to build out or add to an exisiting online automotive network.

IMPORTANT: This site is not being sold on what it is making now as I pay it no mind and thus it makes very little. It is being sold for what I believe it is worth in the very near future with someone working on it.

Site has a custom designed enthusiast forum: http://www.usedcarsavings.com/forum/

And is running an Ebay script to pull in used car auctions: http://www.usedcarsavings.com/auctions/

The site is not making much money at all since I really have not been able to devote any time to it (I'm very busy with my other online businesses - I own several hundred domains and sites) but I don't want to give it away cheap as I see a lot of value in the name and site.

If you're looking for a clean quality site that's ready to serve a global audience this is a great site to pick up quick.

Most traffic comes from "used car shoppers"

    If a site has negligible traffic and revenue, then it is worth what it would cost the buyer to build it instead of buy it. This site could be replicated for much less than your BIN. Think about it: Why would someone pay $11k for your site when he could build something similar for much less?

    What makes this a "Premium Website"?

    Come on Sitepoint, sort this nonsense out.

IS IT NOT SO THAT THINGS ARE BOUGHT AND SOLD EACH DAY FOR LESS THEN SOMEONE MAY BELIEVE IT COULD REPLICATED? WHO IS THIS SOMEONE?

    THE TRUE NONSENSE ACTUALLY STARTS ABOVE.

    I think it is a great domain name.... Location, Location, Location: Domain name is everything.... I never get serious about an online business unlesss the domain name fits. If you want to build a great automotive site, the first thing you need to do is find yourself a great domain name and good luck finding one. What makes your site different? What makes your site different? Getting a great domain can be a big help. Something that makes sence, something that has good keywords in it, something that has a little age to it so your content does not take forever to rank in search engines. If you have a great looking site and a domain name that consumers feel they can relate to, your site is going to do a lot better off. Go buy a good domain name and build out a site like this one. What can be built for $50.00 can always be sold for $50,000. It depends on the builders ability to build and the buyers inability to do it themselves.

    Just to clarify here, Clasione, the site has only 2k impressions per month and makes $50 a month (although you haven't offered up proof for either of these figures) and you expect someone to pay $11,000 for the BIN? Do you honestly think this domain name is worth $10,000?

    Minimum bid starts at just ***** $5.00 ****** -

    If you find a name on either SEDO or TDNAM that is just as good for less then GO BUY THAT!
    IE: something good like: usedcars.com, usedcarsales.com, usedcardiscounts.com - Something with a wide range of use.

    Go shopping for an UNDEVELOPED domain: http://www.sedo.com/search/searchresult.php4?start_search=1&linkurl=&language=us&keyword=usedcar&cc=com&kws=2&cat=%25&price=%25&listing_type=all&age=%25&len=%25&no_idn=1&checkeddomains=1&checkedprojects=1&visitors=%25&rel=3&pagesize=25&search_language=e&search_type=advanced

    Reserve price is not being released.... I also just found out that the site has been making some money from the Ebay Partner Network...
    I had not logged in to check previously.... I may end the auction early if bids stay at a standstill...

    Offers still coming in for this site......

    Please note that the auctions first bid was set at 10K....... I recieved only some nonsence bidders....
    At this point I'm quite interested in keeping the site. It's clearly a great site with huge brand appeal.....
    Unless a "very strong" offer comes in, I'm going to continue growing and building the site. No offers will
    be responded to unlesss they are over the starting bid.
